The premise of this book really interested me and while some parts definitely made me feel suspense they would be quickly followed up by parts that absolutely took me out of the story.

For me, a major issue is the main character who comes off as an ‘I’m not like other girls’ kind of girl and

while in a way this is addressed towards the end with character development this is done in a way that makes it feel almost unreadable in some parts.

Also, the pacing felt really inconsistent which made it difficult to read, and unfortunately, as some twists happened, they became more and more unbelievable and it became more and more difficult to suspend my disbelief.

With that said there were some lovely and enjoyable moments throughout the book and some lovely moments of development with the characters.
